I recently spun up an Unraid NAS, and wanted to locate my MediaMonkey 2024 database and files on that NAS. I followed the directions at
https://www.mediamonkey.com/support/kno ... vironment/ so I could share the database with several clients on my home network (huge Spouse Approval Factor).
However, in the course of locating the MM database on the NAS, I ran into a problem. I had previously set up MM with the numerical IP location (192.168.1.xxx) of the NAS, and one of the clients wouldn't recognize the numerical IP but all recognized the UNC (ex: WALKERNAS). So I changed the location to the UNC, re-scanned, and removed the numerical IP pointers from the database (ensuring plenty of backups to the database for recovery). Then I discovered the rub - All of the 100+ playlists I had contained the location of the numerical IP in them, not the UNC. I couldn't find any way to update the playlist locations.
After searching, I found Zvezdan's "Update Location of Files 3.0" utility. I paid the small fee and received the utility immediately. At first it didn't work in my setup - this was totally due to my somewhat complicated setup, my 100K music files, and likely the nature of the Unraid FUSE filesystem.
Zvezdan was amazing. He and I had multiple exchanges every day for about a week, and he made several modifications in his utility to improve how it works. Ultimately it solved my problem perfectly. I recommend Zvezdan and this utility very highly. He went above and beyond in the rapidity of his responses, and in the work he did to make me successful.
